Joy with her siblings and Daddy for Father’s Day! The puppy is bigger than she is!
Joining in Art Lessons Her masterpiece
Playing camp games Watching TV from Bella’s bed
Despite the messy face, I just love this picture! She was so cute, just like a little Mary. She is such a nurturing person. She loves her dolls and takes the best care of them. I found this doll in Alex’s bed.
Joy and one of the camp songs, The Princess Pat
I thought I would record the names Joy has given to all of us:
I am Mama.
Jason is Dat Tea.
Becca is Gecca.
Sammi is Bubba.
Jessi is Guys.
Lizzy is Diz (it’s becoming Liz).
Bella is Della.
Alex is Alice.
:)
Looking through these pictures, I am reminded what a happy kid Joy is. Sure, she has an extra dose of stubbornness and willfulness, but for the most part, she is a happy, loving little girl.
Hanging out with the puppies…Kissing sister’s hand
Therapy – she gathers the rings as she walks up the stairs (we are working on walking up without holding onto something) then she tosses them down to her therapist. While I do my writing, she is doing her writing practice. My cute Joy. And finally Joy with her little brother. How she loves him!
Birthday money bought Joy…..this cute necklace…it’s hard to see, but it’s a J and she got a boom box.
Early one morning, Joy couldn’t get into the dog food. Oh well, now she can. She is very attentive to the needs of the puppies and making sure that they get feed!
Chasing Spike to get OFF the trampoline. The puppies used to be so little! But she still wants to hold them!

Playing with sisters and friends Phonics with sister
Ready for her 5 year old check-up. (We painted her finger nails) She is doing great! 38 lb 39 in tall. She is in the 70-75 % on the DS charts. We have to go get her thyroid checked and get an x-ray of her neck. Both are just standard DS protocol.
Happy Father’s Day Daddy!
